Aren't those two statements at odds with other since the individual landowner is the only one that pays taxes on his or her land? I will also say that while your opinions may be fundamentally different, if you practice what you preach then you are a tresspasser and a poacher regardless of your fundamental belief.
First off, I never said anything which could be characterized as an attack on a landowner's rights to hunt on his own property, and yes, as a taxpaying citizen and licensed hunter, a landowner does have a right to pursue game within the confines of the game laws.
Secondly, I do not trespass, I hunt wherever I want, which is always where I have garnered permission beforehand. I have more than enough hunting access - time is my enemy.
Third, I have NEVER poached anything, and I practice only fair chase, and take only those animals which are properly tagged and removed thereafter.
Our family let 5 hunters hunt freely on our property this buck season and a few of them got deer. Our neighbors also granted them permission b/c we have that kind of relationship. I DO practice what I preach, and I am neither a trespasser nor a poacher.
Greedy guys always get offended when they're called out on it.
